Hi ALSA AT List,

I am quite excited to announce the launch of the Amy and pALS website. AmyandpALS.com  features articles on all aspect of LIVING with ALS.  Articles are written by expert ALS clinicians who specialize in developing solutions alongside the patients and caregivers who face the challenges daily.  As speech therapist at the world renowned Forbes Norris ALS Research and Treatment Center, I have seen the tremendous difference multidisciplinary care makes in the lives of our families.  I started this website as a way for our experts to exchange some of our favorite solutions with more patients, families, caregivers, clinicians, and ALS advocates around the globe.  We will be posting our most valuable tips, tools, insights, videos, and resources.  If you would like to receive a weekly email that simply list featured topics, articles and how-to videos please sign up on the site.  Email lists will not be shared.
